Slicing through the Mendip Hills near Somerset’s cheese capital, this limestone gorge is the biggest in Britain and features a series of stalactite-filled caves and dramatic cliffs rising more than 130 metres into the air. As well as being a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s where Britain’s oldest complete skeleton, Cheddar Man, was excavated in 1903.
The wildlife here is pretty gorgeous too. If you’re lucky, you might spot a few wild goats or rare Soay sheep munching on the cliff, plus maybe even the horseshoe bats that hang out in the caves.
